Chapter 236 Does Prince Ping want to rebel?

Several people asked two more restaurants along this street. Although the waiters in these restaurants were not as arrogant and unreasonable as the previous one.

But they are also snobbish. They just take one look at their clothes and the cart they are pushing and directly push them aside.

I had no choice but to go to the alley, where a smaller restaurant accepted these prey and sold them for more than eighty taels of silver.

After getting the money, Li Daqiang and the other two were very happy, and the unhappiness just now was forgotten.

The few people returned to the grain store, and it was almost Zhao Tieniu's turn to queue up to buy grain.

Qiao Ran stuffed twenty taels of silver into each of the four people, because there were a lot of people queuing up to buy grain at the entrance of every grain shop. They couldn't just buy it in one shop. Buying too much at once would cause dissatisfaction and covetousness from others, causing unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that nothing happened here, Qiao Ran made an excuse and said she wanted to buy some other things.

They didn't ask any questions, they just told her to be careful and come back soon.

Qiao Ran returned to Zuixian Tower where she had just seen the familiar face. She looked up and saw that the man was still sitting by the window on the second floor.

Even though he had changed his clothes and hair crown, with Qiao Ran's sharp eyesight, he could immediately recognize that this person was the man in the python robe in Shuimen County.

Qiao Ran wanted to know how he dealt with this man after he emptied his vault and weapons. Are there any innocent people involved?

People were coming and going at the front entrance of the restaurant, so Qiao Ran went around to a secluded alley next to the restaurant, climbed up on the roof, lifted a tile, and watched the man below.

The man was wearing a blue robe with gold threads and auspicious cloud patterns today, and he was sitting in a box on the second floor, drinking wine gloomily.

Next to him, there was a fat man who looked like a shopkeeper, serving him carefully, pouring wine and serving dishes. The two of them did not communicate much with each other.

Qiao Ran waited for a long time before she saw the man get up. He was helped out of the box by the shopkeeper, who was a little tipsy, and went downstairs to the backyard of the restaurant.

The backyard of the restaurant is also a two-entry courtyard. There are two rows of eight rooms in the first courtyard, several rooms for the waiters to rest, and several warehouses for stacking firewood, ingredients and other items.

There is also a well in the center of the yard.

When entering the second courtyard, there are only three wing rooms.

The man was helped by the shopkeeper to the most secluded room in the backyard.

The shopkeeper helped the man lie down on the couch. Just as he took off one of his boots, the man suddenly sat up from the bed and asked worriedly:

"Are you sure the things in the secret room are safe?"

The shopkeeper carefully replied: "Master, my men have just looked at it and there is nothing unusual about it."

The man stared at the shopkeeper for a long time. He could only see that the shopkeeper was sweating, but he did not dare to raise his hand to wipe it.

After a long while, the man finally spoke: "The treasury in Shuimen County has been taken away, leaving only this place and another place. This is the final guarantee for our success. If something happens to these things, you will end up like Shopkeeper Qin." Same!"

The shopkeeper suddenly fell to his knees, trembling.

"Don't worry, Master, I will have people watch over you carefully and never let thieves have any chance to take advantage of you!"

As if he felt that his tone was a bit harsh, the man softened his expression and gave him a sweet date.

"Don't worry, as long as you do your job well, when things are done and I sit in that position, you will be the great contributors. Not to mention the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, even if you are the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, it will be better than being the owner of a restaurant. Times!"

The shopkeeper burst into tears of gratitude and quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

"Thank you, master, for your gift! Thank you, master, for your gift! I will do my best to help my master succeed and make him a master!"

The man said "Hmm" happily after hearing this, and was about to lie down again, but he still said uneasily:

"No, I have to go and see for myself, before someone steals it again for no reason. In addition, I have asked people to be more vigilant and not to let anyone suspicious in. If anything goes wrong, I will kill you!"

The shopkeeper was frightened by these words and quickly responded: "Yes, my subordinates will make sure to put people on guard to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

The shopkeeper put on one of the boots that the man had taken off and helped the man, who was walking a little frivolously, to a warehouse not far away.

Little did the two of them know that there was a figure hiding in the darkness behind them, following them to the warehouse not far away.

Although no one was specifically guarding the outside of the warehouse, Qiao Ran felt that people coming to get firewood, fetching water, and the windows of several rooms in the backyard were looking towards the warehouse. Glancing.

It seems that the security here has indeed been strengthened.

The shopkeeper took out the key and opened the door. The man and the shopkeeper walked in, and then the warehouse door was closed.

There were no windows in this warehouse, and it was difficult for Qiao Ran to step forward, so she had to wait in the shadows not far away.

Not long after, I saw the two people coming out of the warehouse.

The man's frown relaxed, as if he was relieved, and was helped back to the room to rest by the shopkeeper.

Qiao Ran looked at the re-locked warehouse door, then at the backs of the two people walking back to the room, hesitated for a moment, and then followed them.

This time, the man lay down on the couch with peace of mind and soon fell asleep.

The shopkeeper carefully helped to cover the quilt, then quietly stepped out, carefully closed the door, and then took a long breath.

Maybe it's because the front yard is guarded, but no one comes to the back yard except the shopkeeper and the mysterious man who owns the restaurant, so there is no one guarding the back yard.

After the shopkeeper left, Qiao Ran listened to the breathing of the man in the room gradually becoming evener, and then blew a few puffs of smoke into the room to make sure that the man was sleeping soundly, and then carefully entered the room.

Qiao Ran wanted to find something that could prove the man's identity, but after searching around the house, she still found nothing.

She turned her attention to the man who was sleeping soundly on the couch, walked over and groped around on the man's body.

Sure enough, with a few clicks, he took out an exquisite jade pendant from the man's body.

The familiar word "flat" on the jade pendant made Qiao Ran squint her eyes slightly.

Sure enough, this person was Prince Ping who had six boxes of weapons stolen by the bandits.

What does this person want to do by building so many weapons, mining gold mines privately, and saving so much gold and weapons?

Qiao Ran was shocked when she thought of the conversation between this person and the shopkeeper just now.

Could it be that, as he expected, Prince Ping wanted to rebel and sit on the supreme throne?

Since ancient times, as long as someone rebels, there will be endless wars, resulting in the tragic consequences of devastation and deprivation of life for the people, and the people who will be hurt the most will always be the people at the bottom.

Qiao Ran thought that since she had traveled here, she might have to live in this time and space for the rest of her life.

Then, she never wants to see the day when the country is in civil strife and the people suffer.

In her new life, she just wants to live a peaceful and stable life.

Since someone wanted to break this peace, she could only do her best to stop it.
